"The book Recent Trends in Disease Management of Fruits and Seeds is the compilation of special lectures, research papers and review articles contributed by the eminent scientists and research workers. The articles mainly aim at control of pests and diseases of fruits and seeds by biosafe and ecofriendly substances. Some of the articles have emphasized the integrated approach in disease management. Biocidal role of bacteria, fungi, nematodes and higher plants were also highlighted. Some of the topics also cover the use of plant extracts, culture filtrates, fungal pigments and other natural resources for biological control. The book thus contain upto date information on modern topic for post-graduate students, teachers and persons actively engaged in researches dealing with applied botany, agriculture pathology, mycotoxicology and seed pathology."
